Horizontal Sheer Shades

Shade By Design’s horizontal sheer shades offer an upscale way to delicately filter incoming light by merging the complete functionality of blinds with the beautiful look and feel of shades.

Sheer Shades are an excellent option for any living space. Transparent or light-filtering materials can accommodate rooms with a view, while darker fabrics provide privacy or help conceal undesirable views.

We provide automated or manual Sheer Shades and modify them to fit any window structure, shape, and size. Our broad selection of trending fabrics, styles, and colors complement any lighting, lifestyle, and design needs. Sheer shades are ideal for rooms where natural light is welcome to shine through.

Silhouette Shades

Enjoy the luxury of privacy while simultaneously welcoming in natural light with these fantastic horizontal sheer shades from Hunter Douglas.

Silhouette® Window Shadings from Hunter Douglas feature soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes that appear to be floating between two sheer fabrics. This design allows light to filter through while enhancing your indoor privacy.

The key benefits of Silhouette Shades include:

Increased View-Through – Sheer fabrics help optimize your view of the outdoors.
Premium Design & Style – Various textures, colors, and hardware are available for a custom design specifically catered to your unique needs.
UV Protection – Depending on your fabric choices, the shadings can filter up to 88% of the sun’s harmful rays.
Privacy & Light Control – A white rear sheer obscures the view into your home, providing daytime privacy even when the vanes are open.
Room Darkening– Depending on the fabric chosen, you can combine the light-diffusing benefits of Silhouette shading with an independently operated roller shade nestled behind it for greater control over incoming light.

Zebra Shades

Privacy and complete visibility in one shade. Our manually operated and motorized Zebra shades combine the chic look of sheers with the versatility of a roller blind, adding a modern twist to any room. The double layer of fabric alternates adjustable solid and sheer stripes, giving you total light and privacy control.

Zebra shades, also known as transitional or banded shades, are a modern choice that creates privacy and proper lighting control. This unique window treatment is a contemporary spin on a standard roller shade or horizontal blind. They combine alternating sheer and solid fabric bands on a single shade for a solution that gives you two options for light – you can rotate from a room-darkening treatment (blackout shades) to a sheer-like treatment (solar shades) all in one solution. Shades By Design’s Zebra shades are available in different fabrics and designs, from sheer metallic to a more subtle, natural look – the perfect choice for any room in your home.

Andrew who came out with samples, the technician who took the measurements and Alieandrah was so helpful with the booking & payment process, etc. Joe and Sam did the installation and they were so professional, polite and worked hard and efficiently.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.
